a real nice Tele or Strat for me. Doing so many country gigs has especially given me a great affinity for how incredible and versatile a Telecaster is. Leo was such a genius.

I've always dug Gibsons with 3 mini-humbuckers. It's a cool, kinda unique tone.

I have these.. PRS SEs.. Santana model and Singlecut.. The Singlecut has had the stock pups replaced with Duncan PAF types and the Santana is sporting a set of Duncan SH-10s

Own a couple guitars, notable an ESP EC-50, LP copy, sounds great tuned down a little. Then I have a Barracuda strat copy that sounds beautiful. They're not top notch, but then I don't play guitar that often anyways.

Own about 7 guitars, but only one bass (Ibanez SR755 about to be upgraded to a BTB1405E) .. as I was guitar player LONG before moving to bass about 2.5 yrs ago. Count... 2 Carvins (Bolt, DC400), '81 LP solid-body Custom, Ibanez Strat copy circa '82 (Roadster, NOT a roadstar), '90 American Strat, plus '82 Yammy and 92 Seagull acoustics.

Bass wise I'm all over the place. For guitar, love the Les Paul. I own 2 and I'm not a very good guitarist (though I'm not a fan of gibson/epi basses)
When I was a teen I loved The Gibson Les Paul studio or an ESP Eclipse, as I grow up and stray away from metal music I really like Fenders, particularly Strat's...
As a bass guitarist I have for many years been playing Fender Jazz Basses and they put fender on my radar as a guitar company (not that I play much 6 string anymore)

I've had quite a few over the years. Currently:
Electric - Rickenbacker, PRS
Acoustic - Martin, Taylor
(I am actually quite accomplished on guitar)

I have bought many guitars over the years, but I keep coming back to Strat-type instruments. My current favorites are an import (don't know what country because the former owner sanded that information off the headstock) sunburst Fender and an 80s Kramer F3000 super Strat. A former band mate sold me the Kramer, and I think he regrets that decision.
I've only a cheap Ibanez concert sized acoustic. If the neck were placed a tad better it would be awesome, as is the setup doesn't quite cut it for me but it's playable.
Like to have a nice Les Paul, or PRS or even perhaps one of the nicer Ibanez electrics. Never played a Telecaster probably because of the country twang (cow pie) sound I associate with them.
Would also like a Martin D28 and a set of expensive Taylor and Gibson acoustics of some sort.

You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?
hhhnggggg!!!
i also like the ESP/LTD tele. the guitarist in my band just bought a 407 Eclipse (lp clone) but i was begging him to buy a tele 7 though.
I love my US G&L basses, and I love my US G&L guitars. That said, I've had a few G&L Tribute basses that have been great, and I've played several Tribute guitars, all of which were somewhat underwhelming.
I like Fender basses and guitars for the same reason - the ability to replace anything on them easily to trick them out.
I've had a few Ibanez basses, and had an AS73. Was a good guitar for the price.
Love my Gretsch guitar. Can't say I'm too driven to pick up one of their basses.
